Most of the advice that claims to work is to "assign a drive letter" but the drive doesn't show up in Disk Management. It seems really random, and it's very frustrating. I could spend hours doing this (troubleshooting, trying options, installing and uninstalling Intel and WD and other apps to try and fix it) and nothing works. Nothing seems to work but after a few days of doing nothing but waiting it sometimes re-connects out of the blue.
I see reports/questions like this everywhere but no resolution. I also have installed a WD smartware app that's not smart enough to detect the drive either, it only picks up on my internal hard drive. I can't find WD Drive Utilities for Windows but I think after a lot of searching I found something like it last time this happened and it installed an app that would flicker constantly in the task bar and not help in any way. the drive is plugged in but it doesn't recognize it and there isn't anything else I can do with that app It installs an app that tells me to plug in a compatible device. The closest return a search for WD Drive Manager leads to is for WD Drive Utilities for Windows and downloads a WDDriveUtilitiesSetup.

not clearly that say "this device" and "Windows 10." This is, I believe, the manual for the drive and for software/setting up it mentions a WD Drive Manager and a WD RAID Manager.

Unfortunately there are no drivers to be found. And yes, going to the manufacturer's website to get drivers was one of the very first things I attempted.
I had used links because the images were online and not downloaded to my PC but I saved them and edited the original post. There, used paperclip and uploaded the actual images. In Devices and Printers it shows up as just “My Book,” and right-clicking and troubleshooting it doesn’t come up with anythingĬan anyone help me figure out if I have the right Intel drivers for my Processors? If not, where do I get them? How about the WD external connection issues, do you think it’s related to the processors or something else entirely? Any advice on getting it and keeping it connected? Thank you! The drive is showing up under Device Manager as WD SES Device It does NOT show up whatsoever in Disk Management. But it seems like many manufacturers have also given up on posting drivers on their website and I’m not even sure how trustworthy/useful any of the software/drivers I’ve downloaded form the Intel site are.
Usb mass storage device driver not found update#
Windows 10 update feature seems useless as it’s always saying I have the latest drivers and never finding anything new even in situations in which I later do track down new drivers elsewhere. I don’t even know if updating these drivers are what will get this drive to connect and stay connected, but given that the drivers are 10 years old I’m thinking maybe doing so will help, if there are newer ones I haven’t located. They would keep multiplying in Task Manager, not shutting down, it was a pain to remove them all. The thing is even though it says there are no new drivers, Device Manager says the drivers for my processors are listed as being ten years oldĪre there really no new drivers? Also, I installed a bunch of diagnostic/assistive apps from and I swear they acted like viruses or something. Here is the report I get when I scan my system on the Intel site:
Usb mass storage device driver not found for windows 10#
I do know that there are a lot of apps out there claiming to fix the issue but don’t and are riddled with viruses/adware.Īnyway, today it happened again (drive decided to leave from Windows Explorer), and I again did some troubleshooting… I came across advice to “update chipset drivers for USB for windows 10 from the manufacturer’s website.” I have Intel Driver & Support Assistant 19.10.42.4 installed and it claims there are no new drivers needed.

Some claim there is a known bug in Intel's chipset system software that is causing the issue, but I don't know. I've done a lot of searches for the issue online and found a lot of reports for similar problems, especially with Windows 10 and older Western Digital devices. When it works it works great, no weird noises, no problems, but sometimes it just stops responding and disappears out of Windows Explorer like I said for days. Nothing I do once it decides to stop showing up in Windows Explorer gets it back, not disabling/uninstalling and re-enabling/re-installing it in Device Manager, not rebooting, not changing the port, nothing. I have a Western Digital 6TB external hard drive that just decides to take leave every few days/weeks/months and reconnect again whenever it feels like it, usually 2-3 days later.
